Here in the northeastern corner of Mississippi, we have had two nights of below freezing temperatures. It was 27F on Tuesday night and 26F on Wednesday night.
These photos were made yesterday (Thursday morning).

| Butterflyweed |
The Butterflyweed,
Asclepias tuberosa, produced an amazing number of seeds in late Summer.
I am hoping to have a lot more plants next year, though I think it will take several years for them
to be old enough to bloom.
 |
| French Marigold, beautiful even with deadly frost |
The Marigolds have been steady bloomers for months.
I will certainly plant them again in the Spring.
 |
| Pansies |
Pansies are hardy here in the middle of Zone 7. You can expect to see their smiling faces for the December Bloom Day (unless they are covered with snow).
 |
| 'Little Marvel' Peas |
The seed packet says these garden peas are hardy to 20F. The weather forecast for the next few weeks is for milder temperatures, so maybe I will get a harvest.
Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

The frost always looks pretty, but it is so destructive.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful macro shots of the frosted blooms. Cold weather is definitely t your home.
ReplyDeleteWe got it here too...I won't trust weather.com anymore...cause I did not get a warning on Thursday! Happy Bloom day, though!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers look beautiful a bit surreal with such a heavy frost on them. I feel bad for them when they get hit with such shocking temps. That's a little weird, I guess......Here's to warm weather in your neck of the woods for a while longer. Happy GBBD. Sally
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful photos.....
ReplyDeleteLovely frosty pictures. I often think that frost gives plants yet another dimension - you've captured it well. Just caught the forecast for the next week here - it's too get very cold! Stay warm and Happy Bloom Day!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Orange you Glad...Love that orange frosty bloom♫ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/pixel-art/
ReplyDeleteThe frost has definitely arrive at your garden, but the frosting on the flowers just makes them more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots!! But, it ihurts to look at the frosted edges. Hopefully, they feel no pain.
ReplyDeleteSad, the frosted flowers. I hope to see some Milkweed blooms next year. I've got to remember to go check my peas to see if they have made any pods. Here's hoping!
ReplyDeleteLove the frosted blooms! We had very cold temperatures at the beginning of the week, but now we're back to mild weather--next week we'll be in the middle, which is more "normal." Is this your first year with Butterfly Weed? I planted it for the first time this year, and it didn't do too well. I don't know if it will come back, but I hope so because it's a beautiful host plant for the Monarch caterpillars.
ReplyDeleteA mixed season find of shot - my part of Australia does not get many frosts - I miss them!
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
So sad but so beautiful. Love your photos of the frosted blooms.
ReplyDeleteEven in the frozen state the blooms are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAwww, they look so sad...
ReplyDeleteThey look pretty even with their frosty coating. The Butterfly Weed was so pretty. I'm hoping it returns.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots but so sad to see what the frost has done to those lovely flowers!

Beautiful frost pictures, it’s a bit sad when everything comes to an end, but it looks lovely in your photos. No sign of frost over here yet, but we might get some next week. Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteBrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - I'm cold just looking at your post Lea just as we've got much colder weather arriving later this week this side of the pond. Hope that those pea flowers live up to their name and get the chance to turn into pods :)
ReplyDeleteAnd then it was hot as all get out yesterday....
ReplyDeleteWeird weather.
Frozen but still very lovely. Thanks for sharing on OYGIF. Hope to see you again this weekend.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Southern California. You can point your Monarch butterflies this way- we may get chilly- but my little micro-climate has probably had frost 1 day every decade.
